Now im feeling a bit better (was never right in the first place ) i decided to take the bike for a blast as its been sat all week in the garage doing nothins i left home at 9 pm and was going to do about 50 miles by 11:30 i was down lands end ! and got home at 3pm (neigbours love the race can )

just wondering has anyone else done a similar thing where a short ride /drive has turned into a long one for the sheer hell of it?

The commute home from Edinburgh is normally ~20 miles, one evening I ended up taking the scenic route via Crianlarich (A82), Fort William, and Perth (A86, A9).

I was only intending doing a couple of extra miles though the local twisties to scrub in a new rear

yep, almost every ride out is >100 miles, and most of them are "enthuisiastically" ridden! it's the buzz of 2 wheels. Hey maybe one day I'll get the big V8, but while I can only just afford a bike and my sensible hatchback, the V8 can wait.

I often go the long way back from Derby to Nottingham. Its only recently Ive realised its 16 miles and not 50.
